F5             C5              D5
I can see the turning of the key
     G5                                   C5
I ve been deceived by the clown inside of me
  A5                                  Bb5
I thought that he was right but he's afraid 
    F5          Bb5      C5                      F5
But somethin's telling me I wear the ball and chain 

   F5               C5                 D5
My patron saint is fighting with the ghost 
     G5                                   C5
He's always off somewhere when I need him most 
    A5                            Bb5
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill 
       F5        Bb5      C5             F5
But my heart is telling me I love you still 

F5           C5            D5
Everybody's wearin' a disguise 
   G5                                      C5
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes 
    A5                      Bb5
But me I can't cover what I am 
    F5        Bb5       C5              F5
Wherever the children go I'll follow them 

  F5              C5            D5
I march in the parade of liberty 
       G5                         C5
But as long as I love you I'm not free 
    A5                       Bb5
How long must I suffer such abuse? 
          F5      Bb5       C5                       F5
Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose? 
 
F5 C5 D5 G5 C5 A5 Bb5 F5 C5 F5

   F5               C5              D5
We sat in an empty theatre and we kissed 
  G5                                    C5
I asked you please to cross me off your list 
   A5                                Bb5
My head tells me it's time to make a change 
       F5        Bb5      C5                          F5
But my heart is telling me "I love you, but you're strange" 

   F5                C5                 D5
So one more time at midnight near the wall 
     G5                             C5
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl 
          A5                                       Bb5
Won't you come down from the throne from where you sit? 
       F5              Bb5       C5                      F5
Let me feel your love one more time, before I abandon it. 

  F5                C5                     D5
I come back to the town from the flamin' moon 
  G5                                C5
I see you in the street, I began to swoon 
  A5                               Bb5
I love to see you dress before the mirror 
          F5      Bb5               C5                          F5
Won't you let me in your room one time before I finally disappear?
